About

  • Optimise whole-of-life value while maintaining high standards of operational performance, safety, compliance, and environmental responsibility

Scope

The scope includes:

  • Nationwide supply of Material Handling Equipment (MHE) and Elevated Work Platforms (EWP)
  • Maintenance of MHE and EWP assets
  • Ongoing support of MHE and EWP assets
  • Provision of forklifts, reach trucks, ride-ons, walk-behinds, walkie stackers, scrubbers, sweepers, scissor lifts, order pickers, worker assist vehicles, and other elevated work platforms
